The guy with the truck has the AT , he already had it loaded. Would like to see how he did it. They will be in a hotel parking lot to unload it. Gravity might win .

he may or has a spot around his home that he could back the truck up to , I would hope .... I have a ram 2500 4x4 and it is tall (could barely load a 250 lb dirt bike with a ramp and a friend helping.) . his truck is a ram , has a diesel , but not sure it's a 4x4 . tall as mine or not , I'm waiting to hear the story on unloading at the parking lot.
going to watch Baylor play Texas state in San Marcos today , a cool 97 forecast for today ..... amazing still no 100 degree days here all summer...

anything is possible SB , but I'm not there . but sounds like a possible approach to consider.... I put this trailer together with hauling my zero turn mower around first and every thing else second .... and dirt bikes are second .... I prefer to ride my Tenere to my destination not trailer it. my neighbor trailers every where , then rides from his destination . his way has merit and maybe I will do it that way one day but this is not that day.

so they backed the truck into a ditch to unload the Africa twin .... trailer worked , the tie down system worked ,everything stayed connected and tight . I got my trailer back about 330 yesterday.

ready or not we are riding this Saturday and doing trail work ... going to be warm but not crazy hot ... 91 for a high. our last ride was early July , so see how much rust has developed in this time .... rode my Tenere to work this morning , first time in awhile in the dark , a little rusty. hot ride home but traffic was in my favor.

they improved the highway in front of the neighborhood and access to south Austin and especially west Austin is so much easier . the whole city of Kyle knows this now.... and every major intersection has at least one school a block down the street ..... major back ups every day twice a day... 2 miles every direction.
that major intersection of 2 highways was obsolete the day it was finished. block headed leadership.

I was illegaly lane splitting in Baton Rouge on a 6 lane in dead still traffic. bumper to bumper. 95* sun shining hard. When I got up to the fender bender where the cops were. I told a cop I was about to have a heat stroke. He said he was too. He flagged me through.
